VirusShare
An invite-only repository of tens of millions of malware samples, with hash lookup and sample download for members. Getting in means emailing the operator for an account; the API likewise needs the member key. Researchers turn to it when they need the actual sample behind a known hash and the open repositories do not have it.

Son utilité et son fonctionnement
VirusShare is a high-barrier, invite-only repository aimed at researchers who need access to a very large collection of raw malware samples, including many not found in open repositories. To gain access you email the operator and request an account; once approved, the API key unlocks hash lookups and sample downloads. It is worth the extra step when you have a hash that simpler services cannot resolve, or when you specifically need the file itself rather than a report about it.
Ce qu’elle contient
VirusShare holds over 114 million malware samples, making it one of the largest privately held repositories accessible to vetted researchers. The collection spans well over a decade of continuous acquisition and covers an exceptionally wide range of malware families and file types.
